Raining - 10/30/07

The rain pours down
Almost without a sound
Reminding me
How it used to be

Years of thunder
Crashes of lightening
Ending with disaster
We can't help missing

The wind is whispering
The dampness subsides
Never truly retreating
The gash forever wide.

What it's about; I had an aunt die of cancer in 2005. I wasn't extremely close to her, but it hurt nonetheless.
Other notes; This one's filled with metaphors, namely the rain and other elements. She was a talented artist and it seemed to fit, for some reason.
